Hi all Iím looking for a or some climbing shops in New Zealand in Christchurch I need one with a website so I can look at gear before I go, I am going on the 26th so I really need to know to night if any one could help please post some deatles and a link if you can

I just spent a few days in Christchurch stocking up on supplies and climbing gear, and I must say that "Mainland Great Outdoor Centre" was one of the best stocked in terms of climbing and general camping gear ...whilst McEwing was good, Mainland was way cheaper and the staff were super friendly and really know what they talk about specially back-country and alpine gear needs...we bought some climbing bits and pieces and they were quite cheap and stock well-known brands....just head to the very back of the shop where all the climbing/alpine stuff is, it isn't obvious from the street entrance. Mainland is at Lichfield Street, a couple of blocks south of the main Christchurch centre.
